A/N: Sorry this chapter is so late! I've only just received my laptop from my family, since I was hospitalized. I hope you enjoy this short chapter, and apologies for both the lateness and shortness of this chapter. Sincerely Xerorose.

Kairi muttered and stomped off to class, visibly annoyed and grumpy; everyone in front of her cleared a path for her. Nobody wished to face her wrath, especially when her family was so powerful and was clearly one of the most popular girls at the school. She continued to curse at her slave in her head, annoyed that he wouldn't reveal something so simple, "ITS JUST A DAMN NAME!" she roared inside of her head.

Slamming the door open and catching everybody's attention, she stalked over to her table and sat down and rested her head against the table. Letting out a annoyed sigh, she banged her head on the table and mumbled.

A small pale boy came up to her and asked, "Kairi are you alright?" flinching as the girl turned to face him while her head was still on the table.

"I'm fine. Thanks for asking." She replied curtly, before turning back to face her desk. Everyone decide it was best to leave her alone at this point and turned back to their conversation.

The boy opened his mouth to say something he decided against it and closed his mouth again, he had a worried look on his face, but he decided it was best to leave her alone. He rushed back to his seat as the teacher entered the room.

Kairi groaned and lifted her head and prepared for class.

…

Sora sat through class, not paying attention to his teacher. He sat there silently holding his nose and staring at the desk blankly, the other slaves looked at him worryingly and some with sympathetic looks.

Mr. Highwind noticed this and let out a sigh and looked at him for a short moment before turning back to his class and proceeded with his class. It was common for his students to come in bruised and battered, as they were often picked on by other kids or their owners. He had grown used to seeing such abuse much as the rest of the teachers and world had; it wasn't like he could do anything to help the student apart from refer them to the nurses office.

"Mr. Aoi, would you like to see the Nurses office?" he turned and asked, after finally giving in to the pitiful sight.

Sora lifted his head and looked Cid in the eye, holding the gaze for a moment before shaking his head and facing his desk. He didn't want to risk it in case he got beat for treating his wounds without permission, as his previous owner demanded it.

He sat that through the rest of his class in such a state.

…

Period one finished

Kairi yawned and stretched, she had gone through the period without listening to the teacher at all, and instead she sat there doodling on her notebook. Her friend Selphie had continually got into trouble for attempting to talk to her and cheer her up, she appreciated that but had really hoped she would leave her alone and focus on her own studies as she was failing.

Riku watched on carefully and decided to stop their mutual friend from bothering Kairi, he grabbed her by the shoulder, catching her attention, and he shook his head signifying that she should give up.

Her face drooped and nodded, "Aww…ok Riku, I was just trying to cheer her up!" she whined.

The silver haired boy smiled, "I know Selphie, but you're only being a hindrance to her, just let her be, she'll talk when she wants to."

Kairi stood up and left the class, nodding her thanks to Riku for breaking it nicely to her friend. She was quite thirsty and wanted some strawberry milk, as she made her way to the vending machines, past the other students she noticed a man in a trench suit with a nasty scar running down from one side of his forehead to his cheekbone.

His appearance gave her chills, "What a creeper.." She thought to herself, ignoring his presence, she inserted the coins and ordered her milk. Reaching into the machine and pulling out her drink, she opened it and took a small draught and let out a satisfied sigh. She whirled around and almost dropped her drink and froze on the spot, slightly frightened by what she saw.

The man had crept up on her and had a nasty smirk on his face, "Hello there, Miss…..?" he asked for her name politely, as he offered his right hand. His eyes glinted with malice.

The bell rang and the surrounding students began to disperse, all heading towards their classes.

The auburn haired girl stiffened, on guard she carefully accepted and replied with slight disinterest, "Kairi. Who are you?"

"My name is Bryan, an honour to meet you." Bryan introduced himself and bowed lowly brushing his lips against her hand.

"What do you want..?" she questioned curiously, looking up the big man.

Bryan cleared his throat and smiled, "I would like to buy your companion off of you." He replied bluntly.

"Scuse me?" Kairi asked surprised by his response.

"You heard me, I want to buy your slave off of you." He smirked as the girl opened her mouth, "Money, isn't an issue."

The owner closed her mouth and shook her head, "He's not for sale. Sorry." She said clearly, before turning to her right and began walking.

Turning just as quickly he grabbed her by the arm and squeezed tightly, "Why not? I'll pay well, you can always buy yourself another slave or more with the money you used for him." He asked with a suggestive tone, "So…? How about it?"

"He's not for sale and that's final!" Kairi replied coldly, before demanding "Why are you so keen on Aoi anyway?!"

The bald man stared at her and broke out into a wide smile, "So…that's his name…now…quite interesting. So…is there anything to help convince you to sell him to me?"

Kairi's eyes narrowed, the man was awfully suspicious and seemed to know Aoi from the past, but that didn't matter to her. Aoi was hers and only hers as of this moment, she shook her head, "None whatsoever. I refuse to sell him, especially to you." She added venomously, before she ripped her arm away from him and stalked off.

Bryan's smile turned into a look of fury, he pulled out from his pocket a small needle with clear liquid, and he quickly caught up to the red head. Sneaking behind her, he lashed out with the speed of a viper, wrapping his free hand around her mouth and quickly injecting the fluid into her neck.

The auburn haired girl screamed into the hand, producing only a muffle, she kicked and scratched as hard as she could against her captor but quickly felt with each passing second her strength being drained from her. Eventually she lay limp in Bryans clutch, his face broke out into a wicked smile, and he checked the hallway to make sure it was empty

He threw her body over his shoulder and began a small jog towards the exit, hoping nobody would be around to see him. After finally arriving at the exit, he ran across the road, checking that nobody had spotted him, stopping infront of his van, he quickly opened the door and climbed in and shut it behind him, taking out two sets of hand cuffs and cuffing the girls hands behind her and feet together.

Satisfied that his hostage was secured properly, Bryan walked out of the back and shut the door and locked it. He turned back towards the school, and laughed maniacally; he walked back towards it and pulled out some sticky notes.

…

End of period Two.

Roxas stood up excitedly, the brunette rushed out of class, almost sprinting down the corridor towards the slave classrooms, he was extremely eager to see Sora again. Slowing down as he realized there were other students huddled around lockers, gasping, muttering and pointing at him. He looked around carefully and noticed they were all gathered around lockers evenly spaced apart, walking up to a group he pushed his way in, "scuse me…coming through…sorry!" he apologized as he pushed his way to the front.

In front of him, was a A4 piece of paper stuck onto the lockers, Roxas's heart dropped as he read the note, "Dear Sora, if you're reading this, then your poor mistress is already in my hands. You know where I will be. Oh and would you be so kind to bring Roxas with you? OH and If you don't come, I'll be slowly and painfully killing your lovely little friend here, and then I will come for you, and cute little Roxas. After all…we haven't finished what we started now have we…?" A feeling of familiar dread crawled up within him; he had not felt such fear in a long time.

His mind began to race, ignoring all the questions and his friends, "I need to find Sora…NOW!" turning around he pushed back out of the circle, and froze stiff. In front of him stood a trembling Sora who was walking past, with his head down, he looked to the side and spotted Roxas, his eyes showed pure terror.

Acting quickly, Roxas rushed forward and grabbed Sora by the hand and sprinted towards the spot they first met each other. He turned to face the boy and opened his mouth to speak.

"Roxas…I'm scared." He whimpered, his eyes brimming with tears, looking up pleadingly at him.

"I..uh..what's wrong…?" he tried to sound casual, still attempting to hide the fact that he knew his real identity.

Sora realized his mistake and froze up, he stared up at Roxas.

Roxas stared back, after a few tense moments; he let out a sigh and sat down, "It's okay Sora. I know it's you, I knew from the very beginning…."
